Has he been showing any interest in any of those lovely gravid-looking females of yours?

Oh yes, Emma. In the evening the females often engage in a late night stroll along the waterfront (front glass of tank) with this male. He certainly knows how to charm the ladies. :wink: :lol:

Yeah they are Pangio's with a snake like face. A few years ago these would be considered rare but lately they seem to becoming quite popular in the aquarium trade. Keep a look out in the substrate of your lfs, these chaps love to burrow.

I do have other males but they don't drive a Jag or look old enough to drive one. Thanks to you though, i do have some females who likes the fast lane. :wink: :lol:

I do hope these breed!! :!:

Thankyou :D

No, i don't have a problem with Black algae. The dieing leafs do though. They are easily plucked if needed. I keep them for the Pangio's feeding habits within the plants. :wink:
